Jasper Insider Tips

Visit Columbia Ice Field

Spread over the parks of Banff and Jasper, the Columbia Ice Field is a vast area of snow and ice which stretches for some 200 square miles and is responsible for feeding 8 of the parks' most well-respected glaciers. This is an incredibly humbling experience and thanks to a well-equipped snow coach and an extremely knowledgeable guide you'll be able to understand the magnitude of this frozen world and what it feels like to walk upon one of the world's most phenomenal natural sites.

When to go

Although summer is relatively short i.e. June to August, you can look forward to a fair bit of warmth in July which makes it perfect for trail walkers and those wishing to explore the valley floor. It can get chilly during the evening, and the higher up you go then the more layers you're going to need - those mountains and glaciers do have a tendency to shield you from the sun even in the summer months. Late September is generally colder but as the leaves turn from green to red you'll barely notice.

Highlights & Activities

Jasper Tour Highlights

Cable car to Whistler Mountain

The Jasper Tramway is regarded as the lengthiest of its kind in the whole of Canada - great if you've a head for heights. With stretching alpine views taking in some 50 miles, this has to be one of the most scenic trips on the planet.

Maligne Lake

A trip on the lake will leave you in no doubt as to the natural beauty of the Rockies. Picnic on the shores of a mirrored lake where glaciers loom in the distance and faraway islands hint of adventure and fairy-tales; and spot Grizzlies, caribou, moose and rainbow trout.

Mountain Biking in Jasper

If you feel the need for speed or perhaps just fancy free-wheeling along gentle gradients, then mount your trusty saddle and pedal off on one of almost 50 mountain bike trails that can be found throughout the Whistler Mountains.

The Angel Trail on Mt Edith Cavell

Discover the ever-changing environment of Jasper, with an excellent looping trail that will take you via flower-strewn meadows and pristine glacial ponds until you finally come face to face with the spread wings of the Angel.
